Old Red Oak barn beam mantel from a barn near Prior Lake, Minnesota. This beam was from an original, old mortise-and-tenon timber frame barn. Circle sawn timber frame barns were built from about 1900 to 1940 around here. From about the mid 1930s we see stick, or balloon, framed barns coming into fashion — similar to the modern construction techniques of today.
This one has a nice dark color. Lots of original character including worm trails, nail holes, and the stronger graining of red oak. A few ghosts of the circle saw marks show through the face as well.

We are literally a mom-and-pop shop that does lots of custom work. We often just don’t quite find enough time to update this website regularly.
We have nearly 150 finished mantels and another 500 or so unfinished pieces in stock at any time that can be viewed with other links.
We also do lots of custom work. If we understand what you are seeking, we can find and create that magic piece.
Please contact us for a full list and personal recommendations. We’re happy to chat and find a great piece for you.
Mantels with Metal
We work with a great local blacksmith to add metal straps and other ornamentation to our mantels. He is the real deal — coal forged and hand hammered. The metalwork has great color and tight fit. Nothing machined. We can start with a finished mantel you find on our site, or we can start with raw stock for more options.
Here are a few examples of the hundreds that we have crafted over the years. We can work together to create something unique. You can also browse our Mantels with Metalwork page.
Installation
In most cases, no special and expensive brackets are required — just some lag screws. The different approaches outlined are very strong, simple, and economical. Take a look at our mantel installation tips.
